Not going to look too much into it, but Rossy has been at WWE events for most of Wrestlemania week it seems.



He is at the Hall of Fame ceremony right now as well.

Mayu just got jobbed the gently caress out to Kelly Klein. I think there may actually be a WWE/STARDOM partnership incoming and ROH is most likely pissed. :laffo:

Sumie is a great person and became friends with my daughter while she's been fighting cancer and I'm rooting hard as hell for her to beat Kelly, who is also really nice but not as much as Sumie.

Wouldn't surprise me, Kairi probably talked them up a whole lot.

I know it Will Never Happen, but it would be interesting to see some of the NXT girls in a tour of Stardom.

Rossy's using whatever leverage he can play with. Showing up in WWE media is either him cementing a deal with WWE or using it as leverage to sweeten his Sinclair agreement. I can't imagine he's not too thrilled with ROH's afterthought treatment of women's wrestling but he can't possibly believe WWE won't drape his women in kimonos and give them funny passport acts.

If his women do anything with WWE it won't be on the main roster so I don't think the kimono issue is in play here.

It would most likely be a deal for the MYC, if I was guessing. They can't run that back with all of the same women.

Considering Mayu got jobbed out to Kelly in a pretty short match...

Also yeah if a partnership does arise from this outside of the MYC, it will probably be exclusive to NXT or have Triple H at the helm of whatever project it could. So I am not worried about Stardom talent being given terrible gimmicks. Odds are they would keep their Stardom gimmicks with a few tweaks. Meaning no Hana giving you the bird.

Now why would Rossy do that? He doesn't interfere with STARDOM wrestler spats. He is the ideal authority figure.

I do think my favorite Rossy moment though was his latest birthday where he spent it getting destroyed by the STARDOM roster. I think he even took a piledriver from Io.

DDT put the entirety of this year's January 4th Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling show up for free with English commentary on YouTube (along with every other DDT show they've done English commentary for). The whole show is a fun and worthwhile watch but definitely make time for the main event if you haven't seen it already (Reika Saiki vs. Miyu Yamashita). Probably second to Io/Momo for my women's match of the year so far.

It definitely seems like they are setting up a story where Brandi has no clue what she has gotten herself into. Thankfully, we have a newly minted deathmatch wrestler to show her how people in Stardom feel about Oedo Tai.

Since the partnership with Abema, they air most of their shows live for free and then you can only watch the replay with a subscription. That helps if you live in a time zone that makes watching Tokyo Joshi Pro live work. Otherwise, yeah. They do a month free trial but someone in another thread said they don't let you cancel until you've had your first paid month but you might be able to get around that by subscribing with PayPal and then canceling the transaction on PayPal?

Their next big Korakuen show is on May 3rd in the early slot so I think it's possible to do a marathon of that and then Dontaku if you watch NJPW. Reika is going for the tag titles teaming with Marika Kobashi, a 16 year old school girl who has chops that rival WALTER's.

Mind you, its Dave reporting this and he failed to report on Rossy being in New Orleans over the weekend (and being seen with WWE officials and at their various events), so take it with a grain of salt, but he had the following to say about the MYC:

He thinks that unless the worker in question is a top draw in a company like STARDOM, he expects women to want to enter the MYC 2 and potentially sign contracts. However, while he can see top talent from STARDOM (Mayu, Io) entering the tournament, he doesn't think they'll make it far, if they even make it past the first round unless they sign WWE contracts.

Now if Io is in the tournament, I fully expect her to sign a contract, as that's been her end goal for awhile now is to get into WWE. The only question is if they'll medically clear her to compete. Mayu I'm less sure about to be honest.
